Using DTPO 2, I have imported all my text/searchable data into a few databases. I am hopeful to leave behind the Finder for all but graphics and video files and the like.
I am having a bit of difficulty figuring out how to work with .doc and .xls files, and am hopeful that I am just missing a simple detail.
I have iWork, but no Microsoft Office product. And prefer to keep it that way. When I open a .pages or .numbers document in DT, I can edit and save changes, and the changes show up immediately in the document within DT.
However, if I wish to save the file as .doc or .xls, for example to share with the Windows world, I have to save to the Global inbox or to finder and then reimport. This creates a couple of unnecessary steps in reuniting the document with its original in . pages or .numbers.
Is there a different method of working with .doc or .xls documents, or of saving .pages or .numbers documents in these formats?
Do I need to buy MS Office (oh please oh please oh please say no…)?
Thanks, and Cheers!
